BRIGITTE LOSES BATTLE

We are very sad to report that Brigitte, despite the best efforts of our vets, passed away late yesterday afternoon.

When she arrived we were confident we could save her as we see far worse cases than this such as Hero, but her refusal to eat indicated, as reported yesterday, that she had lost the will to live. Intravenous fluids and supplements and appetite stimulants were simply not enough.

We can only be thankful that in her last days she received love and attention and that her final memory would have been one of being cared for, rather than dying alone on the streets.

Had she been found earlier then things would probably have been different. This is probably the most frustrating aspect of our work here. The saddest is seeing abandoned pets literally shutting down and refusing to eat like this because they have lost their owner. I just wish sometimes we could find these owners, wherever they are now, and show them what abandoning their pets did to them.

A few people have sponsored Brigitte, and we have written to you individually.

Sadly the only thing we know for sure is that there will be many more Brigitte�s coming to us in the coming weeks and months.
